and here's the barnyard...



another set of atcs for a swap at the shack. this one was a barnyard theme. i used liquid applique on the sheep to make them look fuzzy.




supplies used: stamp and cardstock-stampin up, colored with prismacolor pencils, ribbon.

penguin atcs...

i'm in a few swaps over at the shack, hosted by sherri. one is themed for penguins. atcs are artist trading cards, which are a small version of a card. they are the size of trading cards, 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches. i have a few penguin stamps, so i figured this would be fun. i hope everyone is ok with the christmas theme in april!!!
supplies used: stamp-memory box, patterned paper-sweetwater, cardstock-stampin up.
ps. for those who won the shuggy snacks below, i haven't forgotten. i should get to the post office this week!

tada...

ok, i finally broke down and did it. i've wanted one of these suckers for so long. so i had 24 hours until my $100 credit ran out, so i bit the bullet and got a blackberry pearl. so far i think it's pretty cool. i'm still just trying to figure it out, but it's pretty nifty!!!

oh, and only 3 days until i leave!! woo hoo!!!
